Edinburgh's first supper club, established 2009.
A new and exciting way to eat out, in.

Looking for food for thought?

Sunday, 2 September 2012

For the changing season (and for Jimmy and Nell), in pictures.

Tonight’s supper saw the very welcome
return of friends, cake ladies and a couple of guests new to home supper clubs.

Usually, we begin our evening with a brief
introduction to the real Charlie and Evelyn, but this time, they needed no
introduction, as the guests were already familiar with the story. Instead, we
introduced Chris’s maternal grandparents, James and Ellen (or Jimmy and Nell as
they were affectionately known).

This picture was taken on their wedding day and, like
Charlie and Evelyn’s, sits on the mantelpiece in the dining room and watches
over our suppers. The reason for a special introduction tonight was that
remarkably, today would have been their 73rd wedding anniversary.
Something worth sharing and celebrating!

Tonight also broke several records.

First, for range of drinks served from G
and T, cocktails, and fizz to cider, wine, coke, milk and water finishing off with
“Baileys”! A great opportunity to showcase a good proportion of our glassware collection
which brings me to the second record, number of glasses used. Total: 42.

And finally, a new record for Miss E.
Tonight was the first supper club that she decided, the party really was too good
to miss. How on earth she wasn’t sleeping at midnight is a mystery, surely it
means a lie in tomorrow. Surely…

Anyway, enough of the history and the record
breaking, here is the food:

Almost midnight, post supper club supper. Left over bread, butter, delicious jam (a greatly appreciated gift from this kind lady who knows what it's like not eating until guests are full) and a cup of tea.

Please share your thought by leaving us a comment, it will make for a happy Sunday.
